Fact is:
Greg contacted me some time ago, asking if I have plans putting lirc  
driver into the kernel.
I have explained to him, that I don't have the time to provide according  
patches and open up a second development branch. But I would be glad to  
see someone picking up the job and that I would support anybody doing  
this as long as my time constraints allow it. If the above sentence  
means that I refused to do all the work, then it's true.

Greg, would you please put this straight.

Thanks,

Christoph
